商品簡介
The 11 selected papers demonstrate what issues researchers focus on when studying Chinese as a second language, both in Chinese-speaking countries and elsewhere. They cover the research base for practice, integrating culture and language, and the acquisition of language structures. Among the topics are the asymmetric style of communication in Mandarin Chinese talk-in-interaction, a proposal for learning tones cooperatively in the classroom, the analysis of pragmatic functions of Chinese cultural markers, an English second-language learner of Chinese as a case study of the acquisition of the Chinese modal auxiliary Neng Verb Group (NVG), the acquisition of Chinese relative clauses at the initial stage, and English "be going to" and its Chinese counterpart as evidence for conceptual similarities in languages.
